New scenes are used instead for any flashbacks.

A woman is brutally raped by four men, and she plans to seek vengeance. After five years, she hasn't gotten over it yet, and she and her friend are again raped by two men. This time, she tracks them down and finally has her revenge.
The film was supposedly shot in 1988, but not released until 1993, this explains the some what dated look to the film and sound of its score. Not much is known about how the film came about, but it is well known that the production was a troubled affair. The film was shot on video and its lack of budget is apparent. Details such as filming locations and exact production dates have remained unknown. The film's star Camille Keaton refuses to speak of the film or its production to this day. Her reasons for this haven't been made clear, but it has been rumoured that she left the set before the end of the production, hence the film's abrupt end. This perhaps explains why she is credited under a different name in the movie. Her only reference to appearing in the film came at a horror convention in 2005, when asked by a fan to explain her involvement in the movie, she replied: "I'm sorry, I can't speak about that."
During an audio interview for DVD monthly in 2005, Meir Zarchi director of I Spit On Your Grave spoke about the film and Camille Keaton's involvement. He told of Keaton calling him in tears, explaining she had walked off set and apologized to him for getting involved with the film. He recalled Keaton calling him from "somewhere in the mid-west"n giving an idea of where the movie was shot.[2]
The audio interview with Zarchi is included as a special feature on the 2005 Mullenium Edition DVD of I Spit On Your Grave.[3]
Zarchi maintains he has never seen the film.
Although the film was marketed in some territories as the sequel to I Spit On Your Grave, it is commonly thought that this was not the initial idea and only came about to capitalize on Keaton's involvement in the production.[4]
The movie currently has a low rating of 1.4/10 on IMDB.com.[5]
The DVD region free was released on 31 October 2000.[6] Alternative titles include I Spit on Your Grave 2: Savage Vengeance, I Will Dance on Your Grave: Savage Vengeance and Return to the Grave.
In the supposed "flashback" that recalls Jennifer's past assault, niether Jennifer or any of her attackers remove any clothes during the attack, the same is true also in the later assault scenes.
Director Donald Farmer also co stars in the film as Tommy, one of Jennifer's tormentors.
In any scene the name Jennifer is mentioned, it is clumsily dubbed, leading to speculation that the character was named something else, but was re-named Jennifer to try and market the film further as the sequel to I Spit On Your Grave.
During once scene Jennifer's supposedly dead friend moves her eyes and head several times.
The chainsaw Jennifer uses towards the end of the film clearly hasn't got moving chain and is clearly not switched on, yet there is sound effects dubbed in to indicate otherwise.
A boom mic is visible in many scenes throughout the film
